A budget Linux handheld with a 4.96-inch 720p IPS screen, suited to players focused on systems up to PS1.
RetroResolve found PS1, SNES, Genesis and GBA ran well, while PSP, N64 and Dreamcast need settings tweaks for demanding games.
RetroResolve notes the d-pad lacks a rocking motion for fighting games and the device heats up during demanding emulation.
It has dual analog sticks but digital triggers and no video out.
